Now follows the conclusion, that whosoever shall think or find himself in his fight too weak for the agent's, or patient agent, and therefore, or by reason of his drunkenness, or unreasonable desperateness shall press within the half sword, or desperately run in of purpose to give hurt, or at least for taking of one hurt, to give another, shall most assuredly be in great danger of death or wounds, and the other shall still be safe and go free.- PARADOXES OF DEFENCE, George Silver, 1599

They released a run of ten blades a while back, they are a mix of American and British styles of decoration. I don't think they've ever made an actual 1803, which sucks because this blade seriously can rival the antiques in dynamics.

kalkikrosah: I noticed KOA has been stocking a whole lot of Baltimore Knife & Sword wares lately. What is everyone's opinion of them so far?Feb 22, 2019 1:38:18 GMT

redscorpion: I prefer to think of myself as "vintage' or "seasoned", not antique...Feb 21, 2019 22:37:48 GMT

christain: I'm really not much of a social-gathering type of person, but I love to Ren-Fest so I can walk around in an outlandish costume (except Halloween) and not have anyone look at me funny...other than to admire. Feb 21, 2019 1:21:46 GMT

redscorpion: Been doing too much work myself. I would love to take some time and attend a nerd-fest of some type, but I don't see that happening for at least the next 6 months. Feb 21, 2019 0:43:05 GMT

christain: I'll (hopefully) get back to work in time to put a little cash stash back. Having a 'seasonal' job can really suck. Very slow in the winter. Feb 20, 2019 22:58:36 GMT

nerdthenord: Probably not this year unfortunately. Who knows next year.Feb 20, 2019 22:45:01 GMT

christain: Speaking of Springtime...Any of you Texans planning on going to Scarborough Fair this year? I hope to be able to go. Costume?: As yet undecided. Armor?: Almost 100% sure thing. Feb 20, 2019 20:56:40 GMT

christain: Rain and cold was intolerable yesterday. Today....I went outside with my dogs wearing just my PJ's and a bathrobe. WTF? It's a wonder people aren't keeling over from pneumonia. Call me ready for Springtime. Feb 20, 2019 20:50:28 GMT

Djinnobi ☽✮☾: It is quite warm over here in central Canada as well. Only -18CFeb 20, 2019 18:19:34 GMT

redscorpion: 11 C (53 in real measurement), but gloomy grey and drizzle rain- very English. Not so bad for this time of year. Good camping weather.Feb 20, 2019 14:25:39 GMT

christain: Not frozen seas here (yet), but plenty wet and icky cold outside. Good day to stay inside huddled up in bed with the missus, puppydawgs, a bag of popcorn, and an old movie. Feb 19, 2019 20:36:40 GMT
